EA wants to develop the Star Wars franchise into new directions

Two Electronic Arts studios – Visceral Games and EA Canada – might be working on an open world Star Wars game, at least according to job listings posted by the two teams.

EA surprised a lot of gamers when it confirmed last year that it had secured a Star Wars video game license that will ensure it makes all sorts of great games based on it in the next 10 years.

Now, the first details about the Star Wars project from Visceral Games and EA Canada have appeared, thanks to a few job listings spotted by Kotaku.

While some mention a next-gen open world action game, others confirm that the main project from both studios is based on Star Wars.

No concrete details were offered, and EA is currently declining to comment on its job listings.
